My favourite shop has expanded. This means more of the best from my local butcher, and of course a greater range of strange imported chocolatey things. Yes, that’s right, the Vietnamese butcher has moved to new premises – bigger, better, …

It's been a while since I tasted anything from NewTree, but this bar caught my eye when I was in Belgium earlier this year.
